Cannon Beach Oregon Area Description

Cannon Beach was ranked number seven of the "World's Best Beaches" by the Travel Channel. This vacation destination has a little bit of everything, along with a whole lot of beautiful ocean. The entire town lies parallel to a scenic beach that features the famous Haystack Rock. Cannon Beach is also home to Ecola State Park, one of the most beautiful scenes in all of Oregon. If you haven't seen this amazing state park, we suggest you visit soon, and don't forget your camera. From Ecola State Park you can view Oregon's Coast as far as the eye can see. You also have a terrific vantage point on the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, located one mile out to sea.

While in town you can visit the Coaster Theater Playhouse for a live play, enjoy terrific art galleries, fine dining, and stay in some of the finest hotels Oregon has to offer. Seaside is just five miles north, so if you can't live without fast-food, or need a major retail store, you are always close. This helps give Cannon Beach that small town feel with all of the large town amenities. Click here for a better look at Cannon Beach.
